How do I turn off the advertising for @MicrosoftEdge@twitter.com on my PC lock screen? I paid for a full license, not a "with ads" reduced rate version. #Windows #MicrosoftEdge

@Bradley_JF Oh thats easy... install linux.

@freemo @Bradley_JF I was about to say the same thing.

@dhfir

Great minds think alike :)

@Bradley_JF

@freemo @dhfir I use that PC for gaming so that's not really an option.

@Bradley_JF @freemo I use my linux for dwarf fortress. That's pretty much all I play these days. Maybe one day I'll play something else.

@dhfir

I am not a huge gamer either. But I do have 4 of the most powerful water cooled graphics card they make which I use for Data crunching (OpenCL). So with such powerful graphics cards I feel obligated to abuse them on games from time to time just see see it push 120 GPS at maxed out graphics settings :)

@freemo @dhfir I tried gaming on Linux a few months ago. I found that I was spending more time figuring out which games would install and how to get them to work correctly than I was playing them.

I don't really have a lot of time for video games anymore so I don't want to waste the time I do have on troubleshooting. I'm sure that eventually everything will just work but we're not quite there yet.

@Bradley_JF

Strange, every single game i tried Just Worked (tm).. I just installed it (already had proton and everything needed for games configured and installed)... then when i ran it it worked. Never had to tinker to get any games working before.
